-Eitr was finally cancelled, right?
-Er...nope.

Other than that, nothing definite ... neither on the Steam forums: http://steamcommunity.com/app/350050/discussions/

Do you think there will be a 2 player mode? Me and my dad love playing these kinds of games together and I was wondering if there would be a 2P mode to play it with him. It looks great by the way! I hope development keeps on smoothly.

 Ow good lord, I'm following this game since almost August of the past year!
Is it still alive?

Yeah, it's still alive. They're just focusing on finishing the game instead of spending time on making gifs and updates.
They commented on a few Steam Community posts recently:

Haven't posted here in a while, I've been neglecting this post for years now and I want to actually get back into posting on here especially this is where it all started.

There's been a few things happening, and I'm sure some of you aware about the development hell that we've been going through 

It's still been developed, we just spend more time posting on reddit / discord.
There's been a few things posted on discord, so I'll just do a large dump here for you guys:

Showcase of loot:


Showcase of a sword and shield skill and a bow skill:


Showcasing some of the art / environments:






I just recorded some footage of what the game is like now, it's one of the first video's showcasing the combat.

Hope you guys like!

Really pleased to see this project is still around, and its awesome to see you back on TIG where it all began. Still looks as amazing as always. Keep the content and devlogs coming!

[Aedous]

Thanks! Still have some more things in the burner to post about

[Gibberish]

Great to see you guys still on this. EVER since your E3 reveal your game seemed like one of the most promising for me. Hung out at your discord for months but so little happend i thought the project was dead. Really Hope you guys make it to the finish line. I started my own project here, out at night, check it out if you want.

Cheers to making it through development hell thus far. Nice knowing there are others alive who walk the wastes.

Thanks, hopefully we can all be out of the wastes sometime soon

Thanks, progress is slower than it used to be, but there's still some progress hopefully it can be more frequent if life permits

It is so great to hear you are still working on Eitr. A funny coincidence is that I was on a call a week ago and I don't know how, but Eitr came up. Three of us four people had it on our wishlists, we did some quick google searches to find out if the game was still under development. The fourth person put the game on their wishlist as well

I hope the development hell you mention has cooled down a bit, please keep us posted on your progress!

Thanks! It's always strange to hear that other people talk about Eitr, I sometimes forget it's just not me and my friends that know about the game lol.

Yesterday i was also with a friend, we have mentioned Eitr to each other for years

[JobLeonard]

Warms my heart when an indy dev comes back to TiGsource to share that they finished their game

Congrats on making it through!

Thanks, funny though we haven't actually finished, but would gladly accept the coffee

Yeah, we basically exchange we hope the game qill surface and its at the top of our most wanten list. I get a feeding you guys are a bit private, so i hope you dont mind me asking, but what is the main struggle in finishing Eitr? The original E3 footage felt really strong, the stuff i see now looks very similair? Is it Just the size of the thing your building? The mechanics? I really hope you guys can work through it, cause i Def believe you got something special here. I know im not the first to say, but i d say start a patreon. Im sure over time people will join and you still seem to have some early fans around too!

Current struggle to be honest is a few things, funding is one of them, but also the game itself, we're not currently happy with what we have so we want to take sometime to go back and think about things in the game. We've learned a lot from the last few years and we can identify issues in the game a lot easier now that we couldn't see back then.
We also want to have a solid plan / goal before we start looking for any sort of outside funding, don't want to fall into the same trap as before

A small update that I wanted to share over here, one of things I've been working on is optimisation in the game. It was something that I was kind of avoiding as I didn't know if it would be a daunting task, but I'm so glad that I did.

I made a test scene with 200+ enemies and have the game running at 60FPS+! Glad that I was able to get somewhere with this. Even though this is an isolated test it's a good step towards better optimisation and can only get better from here .

[Alain]

That was fun to watch!

Your plans for the future make a lot of sense to me, I'm rooting for you.

Really happy to see Eitr still being worked on, everything looks great as usual
